Yesterday afternoon I was over my friends house. We were just in the driveway shooting the $hit when I noticed that they just laid down new black top in front of his house. My friend then says why don't you mark your territory. So I automatically go hmmmm.....I told him to get in the car, while I was opening the Bottle.
I pulled the car in front of the house and floored it what followed was a glorious burn-out right through 1st gear. Shifted into second and the smokin continued. As I continued down his street one of his neighbors whistled at me so I let up. We drove around the block and came back to his house. We looked at the double black lines of rubber (confirmed that my car has LSD) and we were both like how long you think it is? Well we measured it and it came out to be 72ft. that was so much fun!!!

If you just floor it...there will be no traction till you let go a bit...but if you just keep on pushin it then you will move but with no traction....also maybe it depends on your tires and their condition...maybe you need to replace them.How many miles you got on your car?

I was saying that I had no traction sarcastically. I was just having fun with my NOS on the new black top, thats all. It's not the tires they are pretty much new with only 8k on them

My old car had a foot ebrake. If you pushed it past the locking point and held it and then floored the gas, you could burn the tires as long as you wanted. The strips were uniform black the entire length and the car wouldn't stop burning until you released the ebrake. I embarassed some much stronger cars in informal contests we had. But, I couldn't smoke em hard unless I used diswashing liquid, engine was strong enough to spin (barely) but not to smoke.

Got some awesome video and photo's though.

Are you supposed to shift while spraying NOS? Why would you need it for a burn show?

To spin the tires faster so you'll loose traction and then make a nice burnout but its a waste....hehe

Uh huh. And you just left 10K miles of 'em on the street.

Like paying $5-600 every 20K miles for new rubber?

There is a theory about overheating the trannny fluid by doing this, and hot tranny fluid is bad, very bad.
